The Toyo RR has been proposed as the potential new spec tire for SPB across Nasa and PCA for 2014.

For PCA, I believe that it's been proposed as an "alternate" spec tire.

The Toyo RR would be a great choice for a Spec tire. Fast, inexpensive (relative) and 30% longer life than others in the category that are a molded DOT tire.

scratch that...current proposal is Toyo RR will be the spec tire while allowing racers to burn their RA-1s in limited use for a short term.
